We ended our campaign and it resulted in $62.81 being collected. For a 4 month period, I can't complain, but I would have liked it to be higher. Thank you to all who supported your hobby and gave back to the Children's Hospital in Pensacola, FL. We shipped the items pictured here on 20 December and they should make it in time for Christmas. They were worth a bit more than what was collected, but we don't mind throwing in some extra stuff. We hope it makes someone's day! Happy building!
Fall 2016 - Campaign Update
We have over a month to go and with the addition of inventory of BrickLink, we are on our way to another great campaign. As of 8 November 2016, we are at $54.41 that we'll use to purchase sets to give to kids at the hospital. Thank you all for your orders and for supporting this campaign!
I've been busy with the BrickLink store with orders and adding inventory, but I still have a set review to do. I've also been busy with the sales going on at Amazon, Walmart, and Target. I've gotten some awesome deals that I hope to add to the storefronts soon. So stay tuned and happy building!
Bricks for Bricks Campaign - Starting 1 September 2016
Bricks for Bricks is finally set up in Florida! Thanks for being patient during the move and transition. Besides having to move everything, it takes a lot of paperwork to start up a business so I'm glad to finally be in action.
Now that we're setup, it's time to put the focus back on giving back. Our last campaign generated $125 for Pencils of Promise. I've tried to focus the campaigns and sales events on supporting kids and learning since LEGO® products are geared towards kids (okay and some towards us "kids at heart" too). For the next campaign I've decided to focus on kids again and to find something in Florida as it's the new home of the business. In searching around, I found the Studer Family Children's Hospital at Sacred Heart in Pensacola, Florida. Listed as #1 on their Christmas Wish list are "LEGO® Sets/LEGO® Friends."
Starting 1 September 2016, 15% of the profits from the Bricks for Bricks store and our Brick Classifieds store will benefit the Children's Hospital. We will put those funds towards buying some new sets to donate to the hospital. This campaign will end on 16 December 2016 so we can get the sets to them in time.
Thanks for reading and for your interest in helping out!
